Holy Land Market Jerusalem Crushed and Sealed Flower Incense from The Holy Land (Amber, 16 Ounces)

I've just purchased the charcoals needed for this today, but I couldn't wait to burn just a little bit of my amber insence anyway to see how it smells. It is so hard to describe the smell because in the US we barely have this type of insence in store. With the mortar/pestle I just mashed some onto the pestle and lit it with a flame for a little bit and then stopped to blow on it and continued this off and on until I had a fragrance in the room, and even then without doing it traditionally, the aroma was incredible. I have never smelled anything like it, especially not in the average insence. I don't think I could ever go back to the sticks and cones, ever again. The smell is like.. sweet, oaky, vanilla cherry tree sap, maple earth, with hints of tartness, velvety campfire desert notes, like cooking something naturally sweet on a campfire. I'll leave another review when I burn it as intended with the charcoal disc and the brass piece I've ordered from the shop for this purpose. The quality is incredible. The product is beautiful. And when you know to crush it, a little goes a long way. You can feel the effectiveness spiritually, and it's a fair price for the quality you are getting.

This is the real deal, it’s what’s used for divine liturgy, especially in orthodox tradition. You need smokeless coal, it will not work with a candle. I’ve bought many frankincense resins before, this one is the only one I can’t complain about. It’s real tree sap so if you let it burn up it will get charred smell. Use the correct ratio of coal and resin.

These smell wonderful and will last a long time. We use the charcoal and put it in front of the air intake to cleanse the air in the house. Helps a lot.

This has a beautiful light frankincense scent. I like it!

Has a more citrusy scent to me, but still pretty nice. It did arrive as a small "block" of pebbles. (The resin had melded together slightly. However, it was easy to break into smaller chunks.)

Doesn’t smell like amber as advertised

I use Amber resin it smells like it even before burn this even when burning no Amber smell!

Lovely scented incense. Would highly recommend. Enough to share.
